Here's the Scoop

I keep saying I'll do better at blogging more frequently, but it just hasn't happened yet, so here is the latest, with pics to prove it. These are not in any kind of chronological order, just little snippets here and there of what I have been doing. (Other than working full time, finishing my internship hours/writing my final report, and getting ready for graduation later this week.)

My sister Melanie and I went to the George Straight and Reba McEntire concert. The king and queen of country music most definitely did not disappoint.

George sings my all time favorite song, "Check Yes or No". It has been my favorite probably since I was seven years old. Melanie and I used to jam to it late at night (meaning 10pm which was late in our little kids minds) and we always thought that mom and dad couldn't hear us. Silly. I took a video of that song when he sang it, but the file is too big to fit on my blog, sorry

Reba was stunning. Would you expect any less? I think not. I love her.

For our February family activity, they all came to me! Ok, but really they came to see the Carl Bloch Exhibit at BYU's art museum, which was beautiful. So many incredible portraits of our Savior that were beautifully interpreted. My dad had told me to find a restaurant that we could make reservations at since there are so many of us now, I told him Tucanos would take reservations and that he should splurge, and he did. What a good dad to feed us all so much food. They all loved it.

One night I was staying at my parent's house and Melanie and Rylee and Dallin were visiting, so while Dallin ate, Rylee and I played.

First Chutes and Ladders

This game kind of confuses her a little bit still, but she'll catch on soon

Then we played "Kerplunk" which turned into her putting the

sticks all throughout my hair to make me pretty. It was a masterpiece.

Katherine got her mission call to The Washington DC North Mission, Visitor Center. Did I predict that that is where she was going? Yes I did. She reports on June 8th.

Brandon and I got offered to watch a Jazz game from the box seats by one of his friends, so we did, this is the only picture we got, but it was pretty cool.

Tegan, Katherine, Me and Brandon (he was taking the picture) went to the

Saturday morning session of General Conference. Sheesh I love conference.

I am currently in charge of wellness at work and finished a big competition to encourage people to pack their lunches. I put a lot of work into and had a lot of fun practicing things I learned in my classes. Next, we are doing he SUGAR SMACKDOWN!!!!! I'm excited.

I have recently put in a few good days of snowboarding. In January, I went with Brandon and his Texan friends, February I went to the Canyons with some boys in my ward, and then in the last week I went to Snowbird with Jon from my ward, and then Park City with Mckay for our annual spring snowboarding day. I love that sport so much.

It doesn't even look like I'm moving in this one, but I just think it looks cool because my board practically disappeared in this one

Action shot. Not doing anything cool, we were pretty tired at this point, but you can at least tell I'm moving in this one

McKay's action shot. I'm pretty proud of this picture actually.

Last Sunday, one of the girls in our ward hosted a tea party so we all dressed up and drank kool-aid and water and ate little sandwiches, muffins, and desserts for those eating sugar. (Which I was not at that point in time.) It was a lot of fun, our ward is super goofy and I love them. I am sad to see so many people go now that the semester is ending.

We got together for a group picture and it wound up looking like a wedding photo, so the hammed it up and this is what we got, it was actually really funny.

Amanda, Lexi, Jon, and then a pile of people that would be too confusing to list their names and match them to position in the picture. They were going for a world record on how many people could fit on the couch.

There you have it. My life as of late in a nut shell. It is entirely too much fun, I wouldn't trade it for anybody else's life in the world!!!
